Okay, I must say that the side mirrors on my 05 CC nismo are absolute shi*.

Most mirrors are built to show a wide-angle view,.. i think, thus the reason why it has a translucent print at the bottom of the mirror telling you that the objects are closer than they actually appear. . . not on my frontier, they seem MAGNIFIED.. I can't see anything through those horrible mirrors, I have to lean forward and back, left, right to see what I CANNOT see when I turn my head and look out the windows... On my rodeo, both the left and right mirrors are wide-angle view (and heated.. dang i wish i had those on my frontier, dammit nissan).

Any one know if I can just replace the glass and have a wider angle view?.. seems dangerous to me how they are right now. I let my girl friend, not girlfriend drive my truck a few days ago and also complained about my mirrors, it was the first thing she noticed, love the truck though regardless, .. that's when I realized i'm not crazy when I tell everyone my mirrors REALLY suck.

I dunno my LE has heated mirrors. I don't have any complaints about the mirrors on my frontier. Drive one of those FJ cruisers and you will appreciate the mirrors on the frontier lol. Good luck on a resolution...

Yeah I have never really had a problem with mine ether. I have also drove vehicles with worse mirrors. I can see our mirrors being pure crap for towing which they are. The 4 wheel drives need to have a bigger folding mirrors like the Dodges for towing but yet we all have the same ones except for heated and non-heated. I don't where they get off giving the CC's all the heated stuff and the KC's not jack diddly crap.

Never buy after market mirrors, they vibrate like hell.

Don't tell me you're one of those people who changes lanes without looking out the window. The only complaint I have is that I wish they where about an inch taller but seriously they are fine. Why is every other post you make about something that is so much better on your rodeo then your Frontier. Heated Mirrors would be worthless to me but auto dimming would be nice or auto tilt in reverse.

had mo 05 since the first of 06 and cant say i have ever had a problem seeing with the mirrors. i have them adjusted as they should be and i can see behind me just fine. as for the heated mirrors, you can add them. there is/was a writeup in the DIY section i believe.

 

[cnicook]

my mirrors are fine as well, maybe a trip to the local optometry shack will help you out

I really never noticed a deficiency with the Frontier's mirrors.
But I did add a supplemental wide angle mirror as I have on most of my vehicles over the years.
Maybe that would be your answer?

that took all of 5 seconds of searching on ebay: NISSAN NAVARA FRONTIER D40 05+ HEAT CONVEX MIRROR GLASS on eBay.ca (item 370338196661 end time 21-Mar-10 17:29:08 EDT)


i have to agree with the others - i like our mirrors' coverage. mine are heated as well, which helps a lot up here.

 

[Jordo]

I never heard, or had this complaint. But doesnt mean it doesnt bother you. Did you buy it new or used? Maybe someone put "zoomed" in mirrors. I bet you could get replacments, and just double side tape them and see if its better before you install them correctly.

Just a thought.

if you don't have heated mirrors, then you are missing the rear window defroster and heated leather seats too. :nana:

 

[ToddG]

My SE CC has a rear defrost Zedbra. :hi:

I've got rear defrost as ToddG says also , no leather seats, but I'm more a cloth fan anyways, couldn't tell ya why, maybe my budget. lol, time for them maxima seats, wait, nah, screw the maxima seats, i was some grand cherokee seats ... wooooot those seats are the shi*


Yeah, like mentioned in the thread, I'm sure happy I dont have the FJ's mirrors, wow. But if theres a way to get a wide-angle view type of glass replacement, wow that'd sure fix it.

 

[D-mo]

yea .. ok ..

not a big leather guy either .. hot in the summer cold in the winter ..
Anyways to the origional poster .. I would think if you took a heat gun to the surface of the origional mirrors (if not heated) they should pretty well just pop right off. We have auto glass places around here that sell any type of mirror you want, cut to specs for some pretty decient prices.

[OkieScot]

I have an '05 KC LE with the mirrors set to recommended specs and it does really well. I did add the small mirrors like ToddG suggested and this will help too.
